Introduction 1

The Alarm Panel

The Alarm Panel is used for sending distress alerts and showing visible and audible indication of incoming distress messages. Normally the Alarm Panel is installed at the conning position on the bridge.

The distress buttons are protected by spring loaded covers to avoid unintended activation of a distress alert. The distress buttons must be pressed for 3 to 6 seconds before the distress alert is initiated.

The Alarm Panel is supplied with power through a DC supply (10.8 - 32 V DC). The DC input is protected against reverse polarity.

Single or Multi Alarm Panel

There are two variants of the Alarm Panel: The SAILOR 6101 and the SAILOR 6103.

• The SAILOR 6101 Alarm Panel has one distress button and can send distress alerts and receive information on incoming distress messages via the Inmarsat C satellite system only.

• The SAILOR 6103 Multi Alarm Panel has three distress buttons and can send distress alerts via Inmarsat C, and distress calls via VHF and MF/HF. It can also receive information on incoming distress messages.

Note In Inmarsat C GMDSS systems it is mandatory to have two distress buttons. If you have a Mini-C GMDSS system, only one alarm panel is required, because the Message Terminal, which is part of the system, has a distress button.

Chapter 4: Connecting cables

5. Connect the Ethernet interfaces on your Message Terminal, VHF radio and/or your MF/HF radio to the same switch, or a switch in the same network.

When connected and powered, all the units are automatically set up to communicate with each other in the Ethernet network.

Connecting multiple Alarm Panels

You can connect up to twelve Alarm Panels on the same subnet (e.g. six SAILOR 6101 and six SAILOR 6103).

To connect multiple Alarm Panels, do as follows:

1. Connect the Alarm Panels to an Ethernet switch.

2. Connect the Ethernet switch to the system(s) used for transmitting the alarms, e.g. the Message Terminal in a Mini-C system or a VHF radio.

The units are automatically set up to communicate with each other in the Ethernet network.

Important Only connect units that are part of the system. For safety and compliance reasons, the Ethernet interface is restricted to internal communication in an isolated system.
